Derailers Anonymous Resisting Temptation(DART)

So much of the message being conveyed gets lost when all you're reading is words. Most of the time it's not what you say but how you say it that people really 'hear'.

other times its all in how ya spell it.

What it is, is that when you care for someone, especially when you care a lot of someone, you miss the tones of the voice and joking stuff turns into not joking and so on.

It is very true. Plus with relationships, it is all about learning how to read the person.
Sometimes people act happy when they are upset. I guess in reality it is about
communication.

With Itore and I, it is just I am so used to the joking that when he gets serious I
start to wonder if he is upset. lol

So true, were basically texting here. And if you text you know. And I'm sarcastic. I will say that if any of you ever think i'm being mean, I'm not. I mean if I come back and say, "no I really meant..." then maybe I do but otherwise no.

I never ever listened to the beastie boys. Sounds like something that was 'before my time'.

[SeatBelt]

[iTOREtheSKY]

I never followed their personal lives really,so I never knew.

Well how about when we make joking references to songs we know Rose has never heard, we should also put an explanation after them. Since Mr.Belt likes to confuse me.

 

[SeatBelt]

Well they call me mike d the ever loving man I'm like spoonie gee well I'm the metropolitician. You scream and you holler about my chevy impala. But the sweat is getting wet around the ring around your collar. But like a dream I'm flowing without no stopping. Sweeter than a cherry pie with ready whip topping

So my in-law-neighbors have a bunch of gorgeous royal purple irises blooming in their yard. And when I go outside at night, I smell them.

And they smell like old ladies' perfume.

...carry on...

Only about 20% of communication is gathered from the words themselves. The rest of it is from tone of voice and body language and stuff. I majored in a language, so I know a thing or two about words.

Sorry for this Galileo moment, but sometimes I make comments for which you are not the intended audience...
other times (like this) I make references simply because they work in MY head and someone else may or may not get them, but i type for Me.
